Colour:
Medium Ruby red
Nose:
On the nose sweet red fruits like; red currant, plum, red cherries, lots of cassis, blackberries. Secondary aromas like; spices, hints of vanilla and cedar wood.
Palate:
On the palate we can taste its a young Primitivo with a bit more red fruits, red currant. Also some dark fruits like blackberries and lots of cassis. The medium strong tannins and high acidity makes the mouthfeel and body feels off.
Finish:
Medium long finish with cassis and red fruits. The acidity seems to linger and the mouthfeel feels thin.
Conclusion:
Its a full red but its feels very light and thin as a red wine. It lacks complexity, mouthfeel and balance. A mass produced Primitivo that doesn’t give the satisfaction and value a country as Italy deserves.

Pizza, pasta, hamburgers, poultry, beef
